Zusammenfassung: | Liposarcomas are considered to be the most common soft tissue sarcomas and have five histological subtypes. The myxoid subtype often occurs in the lower limbs and the retroperitoneum; however, the abdominal wall location is extremely rare.

We herein report a rare location of myxoid liposarcoma in the abdominal wall. |
